HIGH ON LIVING

RESIDENTIAL ARCHITECTURE &

INTERIOR DESIGN

VOLUME I

Diane Purcell & Ralf Daab


HOL RESIDENTIAL ARCHITECTURE & INTERIOR DESIGN VOLUME I presents living spaces that are functional, aesthetic, and sustainable. They integrate different styles, materials, and technologies to create personalized spaces that reflect the tastes and lifestyles of their occupants. Whether in the vast landscapes of Scandinavia, the majestic Alps, the coasts of southern Europe, or the rugged beauty of the American desert, the projects featured here are captivating examples of how architecture and interior design are created with a sense of place. They impressively demonstrate how architects and interior designers incorporate the unique conditions and characteristics of a region into their plans. The living spaces express a deep connection to the surrounding environment and culture. They are works of art that capture the soul of the region and remind us how harmoniously man and nature can coexist in harmony.
